How we handle expansion joint sealing in Hackney Marshes
Brickwork and blockwork walls have vertical movement joints at intervals that most people only notice when the sealant has gone. Once the seal fails, rain reaches the cavity and the joint can no longer close. The old seal is cut away, backing rod goes in at depth, and a low-modulus masonry sealant is gunned and tooled, primed where the manufacturer specifies. If you are dealing with leaks through car park deck joints onto the level below and sealant pulling off the joint face, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Hackney Marshes, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Areas such as a loading bay or car park deck in Hackney Marshes typically have to stay in use. Joints are done in sections, with bays coned off one after another, so the site keeps operating, at times agreed with the building manager.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

How long will the joint resealing take?
That depends on joint lengths, widths, access and how much old sealant or filler needs removing. Typically it takes a few hours to several weeks, depending on how many metres of joint there are and how much old sealant or filler needs removing.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you reseal car park expansion joints?
Yes, we do. These joints take wheels, salt and water, so product choice matters, and we’ll tell you if any edges need repairing first.

From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Hackney Marshes can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- First the joints are inspected, widths measured and the type of failure noted.
- A fixed quote names the sealant we propose and its movement class.
- Phasing is agreed so decks, floors or entrances can stay in use where needed.
- The failed seal is cut out and both joint faces cleaned back to sound material.
- Depth is controlled with backing, the faces are primed where the maker calls for it, then the bead is laid and tooled.
- We check each joint with you, confirm the cure time and sign off under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any specification or named product
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

What we are called out for in Hackney Marshes
Sealant peeling cleanly off one side is an adhesion failure. Poor preparation, a skipped primer, or sealant bonded to the back of the joint are typical reasons, and it’s common on joints sealed in a hurry.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Expansion joints filled with dirt and stones
- Sealant peeling off one face of the joint
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Brittle, chalky sealant on external joints
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Leyton Business Centre (0.6 miles north-east of Hackney Marshes): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.
Questions to ask before you book

Why it’s worth doing now in Hackney Marshes
On a car park, resealing joints in phases keeps the deck open. Work can be planned so parts of the deck stay open, compared with a full closure. Tell us what has to stay open and we will plan around it. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- One contact handling all your sites
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork and blockwork joints
A brick movement joint full of old mortar or debris can’t close. Everything is raked out before backing and sealant go in, and tell you if the joint looks too narrow for the movement.
Cladding panel joints
We confirm what access is in place before pricing. Photos taken near the joints help us price accurately or a site visit fills the gaps.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Hackney Marshes. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
